Above China Entertainment

Chapter 32: Filming for the rise of China Entertainment!
"rnm, refund the money!"

"Brothers, rush Aiqi!"

"It's too ugly to eat!"

"I bought a membership and watched ads, but now I have to pay extra to watch dramas?"

"Reported!"

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu:I’ll accept the money for the broadcast, but can you give me back the money I paid for my new membership?”

On this day, iQiyi’s more than 5000 million members ushered in the darkest moment.

The distinguished VIP members received a severe beating from Aiqi.

Countless netizens were trembling with anger.

The worst among them are the people who bought membership after watching the first two episodes.

Now everyone on the Internet is shouting about iQiyi, and its reputation has dropped to rock bottom.

At the iQi headquarters, a group of workers looked worried.

On the contrary, a group of senior executives were indifferent. In fact, the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuchs were.

The executives also couldn't understand why a group of ordinary workers cared more about the company than themselves.

You said you only have a salary of several thousand dollars a month, why bother worrying about nothing?

In the conference room, a group of iQiyi executives looked at the advanced on-demand data for the drama "The Beginning" and almost burst out laughing.

Scolds come and go, but there are always people who pay without hesitation.

No, in just one afternoon, an average of 70 users chose to pay for each episode of "The Beginning"!
According to the price of three yuan per episode, two episodes are 420 million!

Including the group of people who have opened memberships, iQiyi has made a lot of money this time!

"According to our predictions, in addition to the free episodes of the drama "The Beginning", an average of more than 300 million users will choose advance on-demand for each of the subsequent twelve episodes. Only in terms of advance on-demand, the drama "The Beginning" will be able to It will bring us about 7000 million yuan in revenue!”

At the meeting, after hearing the reports from his subordinates, iQiyi President Yahuang never stopped smiling.

A person in charge hesitated and said, "President, the Internet is already abuzz about our launch of advance on-demand. Should we come forward to respond and guide public opinion?"

Yahuang adjusted the frame of his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if they want to scold them, just let them scold them a few more times. We can't make money for us, so why don't we let others scold us?" Aiqi is not that domineering."

Yahuang was not worried at all. Anyway, Aiqi's family would definitely not be the only ones who would be scolded.

Yahuang didn't believe it. After seeing the benefits brought by advance on-demand, Penguin Video and Youku Video could bear it.

Maybe now the keyboards of programmers in the two technical departments of Penguin Video and Youku Video are almost smoking.

A group of executives looked at each other and smiled.

That's right, you can't even stop making money for the sake of conscience.

The executives here all more or less hold the original shares of iQiyi. Now with the new profit point of advanced on-demand broadcasting, iQiyi’s financial report this year will definitely be very eye-catching.

When iQiyi goes public next year, the value of the original shares in their hands will also expand rapidly. They will then find a high point to reduce their holdings and cash out, and directly achieve financial freedom in a wave.

"By the way, people from the technical department, tell me to add a sentence on the advance on-demand page to comply with the copyright owner's request. After all, Director Wang can't just take [-]% of the advance on-demand revenue. He has to share some of the criticism for us."

According to the investment contract signed with Wang Kun, after deducting iQiyi’s investment share, Wang Kun needs to be paid 700 million yuan in film purchase fees.In addition, although advance on-demand was proposed by Wang Kun, because of the need to use the iQiyi platform, the share ratio cannot still be based on the share ratio of Wang Kun [-] and iQiyi [-]. After re-signing the contract, the advance on-demand aspect The income was changed to a [-]-[-] share.

Even if it is 3000%, iQiyi will still have to pay almost [-] million yuan in advance on-demand revenue to Wang Kun.

Thanks to the drama "The Beginning", Wang Kun received about 6000 million before tax!

Wang Kun only invested 500 million. Although the screenwriter, director, and post-production were exhausted, in the face of a return rate of more than ten times, all the experiences were just a few insignificant hardships.

No one can stop Director Wang from making films for the rise of China Entertainment!
Wang Kun is making a lot of money, but Yahuang is not jealous of it. After all, Ai Qi earns more from this drama. In addition, with the idea of ​​advance on-demand broadcast, Ai Qi can still have a steady stream of income in the future.

Yahuang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "After this operation, Director Wang not only made a lot of money, but also owed us Aiqi a big favor. Director Wang is a great talent!"

Gong Mingxi said solemnly: "President, I think we can consider acquiring Director Wang's studio. If that doesn't work, we can also invest in a certain share of the studio. The last step is to win over Director Wang and participate in the investment of Director Wang's follow-up projects."

Yahuang did not hesitate and directly delegated the power to Gong Mingxi, "Okay, you and Director Wang are more familiar with each other. I will leave this matter to you. You can make the decision yourself to acquire Director Wang's studio within [-] million. No need. Apply to me.”

In Guoran Entertainment, a brokerage company owned by iQiyi.

Xiao Yan looked at the popularity of "The Beginning" and said it would be a lie to say she didn't regret it.

Originally, the role of Li Shiqing could have been hers.

All she had to do was agree to the director's unspoken rules, but Xiao Yan refused because of Wang Kun's appearance.

Looking at Li Mozhi, who became famous for playing Li Shiqing, Xiao Yan had to admit that she was envious.

Originally, Li Mozhi was not as well-known as herself, but now because of the popularity of "The Beginning", Li Mozhi suddenly became very popular, and she received various announcements and endorsements.

There was once an opportunity placed in front of me, but I didn't know how to cherish it. If I could go back to the day of the audition, Xiao Yan would like to say to Director Wang: "I do!"

As for the online criticism of "The Beginning", Xiao Yan simply ignored it.

Controversy is what makes it explosive.

Although the online criticism is fierce, will this affect the popularity of the drama "The Beginning"?

Does not affect!
Not only Li Mozhi is popular, but also Chen Zhiyuan, and even Teacher Bai fired the first shot of his comeback with the drama "The Beginning"!
Chen Zhiyuan's contract only lasts for two years, but as expected, the entertainment company will not wait until two years before negotiating a contract extension with Chen Zhiyuan.

After all, Chen Zhiyuan's contract was signed five years ago, and the liquidated damages were only 500 million.

With Chen Zhiyuan's current popularity, some entertainment companies are willing to pay liquidated damages for Chen Zhiyuan.

When Guoran Entertainment re-drafted a contract with better conditions and approached Chen Zhiyuan with confidence, Chen Zhiyuan refused.

Before "The Beginning" was released, Chen Zhiyuan was willing to pay the liquidated damages out of his own pocket and switch to Wang Kun Studio.

Not to mention that "The Beginning" is now a hit, which has strengthened Chen Zhiyuan's confidence in wanting to change jobs.

Chen Zhiyuan was unknown for the first five years and was a little transparent in the entertainment industry.

But after Wang Kun chose him to star in "The Beginning", it became an instant hit.

Through this incident, Chen Zhiyuan understood a truth.

Effort is important, but choice is more important than effort.

If you can follow the right person, hard work and choice are not so important!
